'A vivid and erudite tour de force . . . romantic fiction for the thinking reader' Penelope Lively
When a stranger calling himself the Honourable Alexander Augustus Hope, MP arrived in the Lake District village of Buttermere in the summer of 1802, nobody could have predicted the dramatic consequences. Hope's passionate liaison with Mary Robinson, the beautiful daughter of a local innkeeper, was to lead to a nationwide manhunt, a mass of newspaper reports and one of the greatest scandals of the day.
In this compelling novel, Melvyn Bragg brings to life a true story of the Romantic Age, which intrigued Wordsworth and Coleridge and captured the imagination of the time. Evoking the newly fashionable 'paradise' of the Lakes, he tells a tale of wealth, title, class and faith - none of which are what they seem.
'A detailed, eloquent and affecting panorama of truth and lies . . . thrusts Bragg into the front rank' Mail on Sunday
